About this Class

Some info was translated automatically.

For thousands of years, women and men have been familiar with the medicinal and edible herbs in their surroundings. This knowledge ensured their survival and helped them regain their health. Their knowledge, however, went beyond simply recognizing herbs—they knew how to prepare them, understood the energies of herbs, and could communicate with plant devas. This holistic perspective made “miracles” possible, helping people remain or become healthy in spirit, body, and mind. 

The wilderness school Wir-Kinder der Erde seeks to convey in this training this inner attitude: that everything is interconnected, pulsing with life in the web of life, and that people are the guardians of the Earth. It is this holistic perspective that touches the heart and lets the soul sing its song

In the herbal training, you will study the basics of botany, cook with wild herbs, create your own personal herbal healing guide, and learn about the language of plants and trees. In addition to herbal medicine and edible herbs, we will guide you in living mindfully with and in nature, while expanding your perception and your knowledge of Earth spirituality and the plant mythology of different cultures.

The wilderness school "We - Children of the Earth" offers training in wilderness education, wilderness skills, nature education, ceremonies, and animal-assisted experiential education. At the same time, the wilderness mentors guide people through vision quests and life counseling toward a deep connection with nature and along their personal path of growth toward inner peace. Dr. Barbara Deubzer learned the Art of Mentoring, Story Telling, and a mindful approach to nature directly from Tom Brown Jr. and Jon Young. Tom Brown Jr. initiated Barbara into the path of the sacred Native American pipe in 2000, and other teachers on the spiritual path were Jim Medicine Tree, Gayle Crozmas, and Leihou Rayder from Hawaii. The wilderness school We-Children of the Earth aims to strengthen people's connection with nature in their hearts and develop self-awareness. For modern lifestyles have often caused people to lose touch with themselves and nature. We believe that everyone carries within themselves the knowledge needed to make life-supporting decisions, but that access to it is “blocked.” Alongside courses and children's camps, the school therefore offers training to become a wilderness educator and year-long guidance that includes a vision quest. Courses for young and old teach basic skills for living (and surviving) in harmony with nature, while developing awareness of one's surroundings, oneself, and the spiritual. A holistic approach is always at the heart of the training. Individuals, kindergartens, schools, multipliers, and companies are warmly welcome and will surely find a suitable course.

Die Wildnisschule "Wir - Kinder der Erde" bietet Ausbildungen in den Bereichen Wildnispädagogik, Wildniswissen, Naturpädagogik, Zeremonien und tiergestützte Erlebnispädagogik an. Gleichzeitig begleiten die Wildnismentoren durch Visionssuchen und Lebensberatung Menschen zu einer tiefen Naturverbindung und auf ihrem persönlichen Wachstumsweg zum inneren Frieden. Dr. Barbara Deubzer lernte direkt von Tom Brown jr. und Jon Young das Art of Mentoring, Story Telling und den achtsamen Zugang zur Natur. Tom Brown jr. initiierte Barbara in den Weg der heiligen indianischen Pfeife 2000 und weitere Lehrer auf den spirituellen Weg waren Jim Medicine Tree, Gayle Crozmas, Leihou Rayder aus Hawaii. Die Wildnisschule Wir-Kinder der Erde möchte die Naturverbindung in den Herzen der Menschen stärken und die Selbstwahrnehmung schulen. Denn oft ist durch die moderne Lebensweise der Kontakt zu sich und zur Natur verschwunden. Wir gehen davon aus, dass jeder Mensch das Wissen von lebensunterstützenden Entscheidungen in sich trägt, jedoch die Zugänge dahin "blockiert" sind. So bietet die Schule neben Kursen und Kinderfreizeiten auch eine Fortbildung zur Wildnispädagogen und eine Jahresbegleitung mit Visionssuche an. In den Kursen für Jung und Alt werden die Grundfertigkeiten zum (über-) Leben in Harmonie mit der Natur vermittelt, die Wahrnehmung für die Umgebung, für sich und für das Spirituelle geschult. Ein ganzheitliche Ausbildung liegt immer im Fokus. Einzelpersonen, Kindergärten, Schulen, Multiplikatoren und Firmen sind vom Herzen willkommen und finden sicherlich den passenden Kurs.
